This better wait for autonomous cars, because now, the effect on oncoming traffic would be disruptive to say the least.

1) led lights are the poorest choice of lighting to allow the human eye to see. flashy yes, crappy choice. definitively. automakers don't use science, they use fast and furious to design. 2) having lights shine where you see would be problematic at most, and expensive at best. having lights that turn when you turn? a great solution.

Why is this new? I remember seeing autos with moving headlights when I was in Europe in the 70s.

Sounds fine for the driver who never moves his/her gaze from exactly where they should be going, but all those sneaky looks at the attractive passenger, or the look at something interesting on the other side of the road, checking the instruments, watching traffic to either side??

At very first glance this sounds almost OK.... until you see where most people are looking! Almost anywhere but at the road and mostly to their smartphone where they are texting or reading a text. Or at their companion in the car, or at a 'Sale!' sign.
Doesn't seem such a good idea on closer examination.

I had a good chuckle, but sad at the same time to realize the idiots at GM for even wasting time thinking about this..

I have to agree...its a bad idea because of road rage conditions. People get upset when oncoming cars have their high beams on in conditions that don't warrant it. HELL, I get upset and now they want to give idiot drivers that don't put safety first this type of power. A look into the future...traffic deaths are about to rise.

That is dumb, your headlights should point to where your car is heading, not where you eyes are looking, after all your car will hit something it is heading for and that is what you need to see.

I assume that they would limit the headlight movement to within a reasonable range, and that eye movement to areas outside that range would be ignored.

I don't understand...the headlights are on the front of the vehicle....So how will they help illuminate my cell phone? hehehe
